Girls Will Be Girls explores the idea that femininity is largely performance, and using research and lived experience, encourages readers to reconsider gender and the actions or behaviours we may take for granted as “male” or “female”. This book is very listenable and brings humour to what can be a heavy going and difficult to dissect topic. While I did find it reflective, and was engrossed by some of O’Toole’s perspectives on genderless society and personal expression, I also felt a bit like I was reading the authors diary rather than a book on contemporary feminist theory. It strays over into the realm of memoir for me, which wasn’t what I was really looking for. Despite this, I can’t deny that I’ll be contemplating some of O’Toole’s ideas for time to come.
